Homework Statement
Verify that the indicated expression is an implicit solution of the given first order differential equation. Find at least one explicit solution in each case. Give an interval I of definition of each solution.
The differential equation is: [itex]\displaystyle \frac{dX}{dt} = (X -1)(1-2X)[/itex]
and the solution is [itex]\displaystyle \ln \left( \frac{2X-1}{X-1} \right) = t[/itex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Implicitly differentiating gives
[itex]\displaystyle \ln(2X -1) - \ln(X-1) = t [/itex]
[itex]\displaystyle \frac{\dot{X}}{2X-1} - \frac{\dot{X}}{X-1} = 1[/itex]
[itex]\displaystyle \frac{2 \dot{X}(X-1)}{(2X-1)(X-1)} - \frac{\dot{X}(2X-1)}{(X-1)(2X-1)} = 1[/itex]
[itex]\displaystyle \frac{\dot{X}(2X-1-2X +1)}{(2X-1)(X-1)}[/itex]
[itex]\displaystyle \frac{\dot{X} \cdot 0}{(2X-1)(X-1)} = 1[/itex]
